Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

"So you\'re also a riddle person, huh?"

The other party beat around the bush for a long time, but Yino felt even more of a headache the more he listened.

Due to his experience as a completionist in Accompanying Immortals in his previous life, just hearing the other party\'s cryptic lines made Yino\'s head hurt. He already had psychological trauma.

"What does \'riddle person\' mean, Young lord?"

Jinyu blinked her eyes, tilting her head with quite a bit of innocence.

Instantly, the corners of Yino\'s lips twitched. He felt a sense of déjà vu on Jinyu\'s face, reminding him of the silly cuteness of Yunjin when he first met her.

In a sense, the two of them really had similar jobs in the game.

What made Yino even more exasperated was that Yunjin had a hidden storyline with the Nine-Colored Deer. Now it seemed that Jinyu also had a hidden storyline with his aunt and a certain mysterious Pavilion Master.

This familiar feeling was exactly like when he first learned that Yuyan liked to play chess in private.

-Did I really grind all the achievements in Accompanying Immortals for nothing in my previous life?-

-It\'s one thing for a high-class female lead like Yuyan to have her own life, but damn it, why do even roles like the newbie guide and the poster girl all have hidden storylines?!-

"Forget it..."

"Even if you can\'t tell me your identity since you\'re just an employee, you\'ll at least take me to meet that legendary Pavilion Master, right?"

Yino rubbed his forehead and couldn\'t help but speak up.

In the game, Western Province City was a map that would only be unlocked in the mid-game storyline at the earliest.

Now, the timeline was still far from the Western Region arc with the "Demon Abyss" theme. Yino didn\'t want to have too much interaction with characters he shouldn\'t be in contact with at this point in time.

He had already brought along a silly newbie guide. There was really no need to also bring along the poster girl from the activity interface. Otherwise, it would affect Yino\'s predictions for the upcoming storylines.

"Of course! My Pavilion Master is in the top floor private room of Phoenix Pavilion next door!"

"Young Lord, just take my jade pendant and give it to a lady in black clothes. Then you can go in and meet Master!"

Jinyu smiled and took the initiative to untie a milky white jade pendant carved with golden lines from her chest wrapped in an apron, handing it to Yino.

Yino took the jade pendant and was a bit dazed.

He first looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, confirming that this thing was indeed one of Jinyu\'s most important tokens in the game. Then he looked up again at the cute girl happily equipping him at the counter:

"What\'s wrong, Young Lord?"

Jinyu blinked, tilting her head curiously.

"Nothing, it\'s just this jade pendant. Should I return it to you afterwards?"

"Ah! That\'s right. This jade pendant is very important to me! So please return it to me after you meet the Pavilion Master!"

"No, you\'re just giving it to me like this? Aren\'t you afraid I won\'t return it to you?"

Yino raised his eyebrows. No matter how he thought about it, something felt off. Why did it seem like he had almost maxed out Jinyu\'s favorability on his very first visit to Western Province City?

In the game, this milky white jade pendant carved with golden threads was always hung on Jinyu\'s chest. If you clicked on Jinyu\'s chest on the screen with the mouse, Jinyu would cover the jade pendant, smile awkwardly, and say she was very sorry, but this jade pendant was a non-sale item. It was a very important token to Jinyu and she wouldn\'t sell it no matter how many merit points were offered.

The hero might as well take a look at the other exchange rewards in the Immortal Alliance...

Corresponding to the dialogue, Jinyu in the game also had this jade pendant, only saying it was some kind of memento from her hometown, but not specifying its origin or story.

In other words, even the introduction of the jade pendant in the original story was a riddle. It was better not to introduce it at all than to introduce it for so long. Continue your adventure with m|v-l\'e -NovelBin.net

But now, Jinyu actually so easily handed over the precious jade pendant to Yino, whom she had just met for the first time?

"It\'s okay! I trust you!"

In front of the counter, the girl put her hands behind her back and smiled sweetly.

Faced with her inexplicably intimate gaze, Yino gasped. In the end, he still suppressed the curiosity in the depths of his heart that was tormented by riddles, nodded, and left with Yunjin.

However, Yino had only taken a few steps before Jinyu softly called out to him again-

"By the way, why did you recognize me as the Jinyu that your aunt mentioned as soon as you walked in the door earlier, Young Lord?"

Jinyu blinked, also suddenly remembering this matter, and hurriedly asked curiously.

Yino stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. After a brief pause, he finally responded with an equally meaningful and cryptic line:

"Because of fate."

"Fate?"

"My aunty said that Miss Jinyu and I are fated. So as long as I step into the Immortal Alliance Inn and my eyes meet with yours at first glance, and I feel my heart rate speed up... then you must be the Miss Jinyu I\'m looking for."

Jinyu: (°△°|||?)

….

"Hmph! So miss Jinyu and Young master have this kind of fate?!"

After leaving the Immortal Alliance Inn, the silly girl pouted all the way, following Yino with quite a bit of grievance.

She felt a slight sourness. It was also the first time in so many years that Yunjin had tasted this indescribable feeling of jealousy.

"Yino, do you hit on every girl like this?"

Pushing open the door of Phoenix Pavilion, Yunjin finally couldn\'t help but speak up.

Yino glanced back at her and smiled: "Of course not."

"Then, then why did you just..."

"You see, I\'m only this gentle with good girls. For bad girls, I have another way of treating them that\'s not so gentle."

Yunjin: ?

"Here\'s the Abyss Frost Bug, Soul Scattering Powder, and three jin of Blood Spirit Grass you asked for..."

In the Noble Wood Chamber, a girl in red lazily leaned against the curtain. She wore a red mask covering half her alluring face as she spoke in a playful tone.

Because of the demon clan tattoos on her body, when receiving guests, the girl usually let her loose red dress hang down. She tried not to show her legs, arms, collarbone, or bare face in front of customers...

But over the years, the girl had gotten used to sitting high above with customers kneeling and begging. She still couldn\'t break the habit of crossing her legs under her skirt, playfully curling her jade feet, including the habit of shaking her leg under her skirt. Whenever the girl shook her leg, the bells tied to her ankle would jingle, producing a pleasant sound from behind the curtain.

Over time, this unique bell sound became the signature impression of the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master.

There were often rumors in the Western Region black market: No matter how rare and priceless the divine medicine was, as long as the customer heard that pleasant bell sound coming from the Pavilion Master\'s foot, it meant the deal was almost certainly done!

Now, Zi Chen the Holy Son was kneeling on one knee before the girl in red was also excited to hear the pleasant bell sound.
